The seven-man panel of the
Supreme Court has struck out the appeal filed by Senator Magnus Abe.

Senator Abe in his suit sought
the leave of the court to amend his notice of appeal on the Rivers State
Governorship primaries.

The apex
court panel led by the Acting Chief Justice of Nigeria, Justice Tanko Mohammed
described the Appeal of Senator Abe to amend his notice on the Rivers State
Governorship primaries as an abuse of Court process.

The court unanimously agreed that
Abe’s appeal was filed out of time and lacked merit, therefore, remained
dismissed and struck out.
